above resolutions will vastly increase
their own labor without extra com
pensation. They, however, believe
that the action taken will place the
Association on q broader and frmer
basis and that the interest of each
policy holder will be better protected
by so doing.
The cost of your insurance under
present arrangement will not exceed
maximum estimates given in our
"Tabulated Explanations" issued
nearly eighteen months ago. For
yearly estimate of cost on ten year
endowment, turn to comparative
table" No. 2, Col No. 2, opposite
your age when you became member
of the Association, For estimates on
fifteen year endowments see "com-
parativs table" No. 4; on ordinary
life policies comparative table" No.
5. 1t will be an easy matter to de
termine total cost of your endowment
as estimated in these tables by null
tiplying yearly cost by number Of
years to lapse before policy becomes
due. 1t will be seen that in addition
to advantages of safe insurance
during the term you will have lib
eral profit on your investment. No
other association offers to furnish en-
dowment insurance at such reason
able rates, because the same can only
be done by giving to endowment
members all the advantages growing
out of that fund, after full payment
of all legitimate death claims, and by
charging to said fund only the actual
expense of management.
AS to cost on our ordinary life pol
icies we are confident that insurance
that does insure" cannot be furnished
for less money: Your interest at all
times will be protected by careful Sc
lection of risks, economy of manage
ment, and determination to place
the Association in the front ranks
for reliable insurance.

WORTH Remembering.

A THOUSAND men of a given age join
a company in given year, and ac-
quire the right to continue to pur-
chase insurance each year of their
lives, if they so elect. At the end of
the first year certain number elect
retire, after having paid simply the
cost as determined by the actual death
rate from the period that they have
remained. Have the retirants con-
tributed their share to the cost Of
in Insurance, that is to be furnished?
Have they borne their equitable share
of the cost of that insurance even if
they have each paid sufficient to
cover their share of the years pro-
portion of the entire cost of the in
surance actually to be furnished the
entire number, or they have left a
burden to be paid by others who ad-
here to the contract. Unless they
have left an amount with the COM
pany to cover the difference between
that and the death-cost of the current
year, they have robbed the company
and it is weaker for their having been
in it. 1t is we'll enough for the man
who remains to pay year by year;
but where is the surety that the man
will remain, and, if he does not.
when is the company to make good
the amount that he should have paid
and has not ?" GARDIAN.

IT has been announced to US the object
of meeting in Lodge to night-that namely
to take leave of a b., who has don much
for the Lodge.
Ny Brethren -Leave-taking at all times
and under the most ordinary circumstances
is of a nature to tear asunder ties of endear-
ment and love, to give rise to many emotions
and recollections of events which at the
time when taking place, were thought little OF,
but which become of moment when the time
of separation is at hand.
But, Ny Brethren this is no ordinary case
of leave-taking, for we are now about to lose
a Brother who has been with us for so long
a time, that nearly a quarter of a century has
passed away since first he came to this island.
He came here as captain of one of the vessels
belonging to the firm, who at a time, when
a trustworthy man vas required, appointed
Br... Petersen to conduct their business in
this island for them.
New departures in the mercantile world,
caused the House for whom he was working,
to withdraw their business.
From that time off Br... Petersen has been
actively employed as a direct importer, and
with skill and integrity, he has reaped that
reward for upright dealing, to which he IS
well entitled. When | consider what 1T Is
to be a man of business-the daily tempta-
tlonS OF drIV1ng a close DafgalR-do Abdke bn0
most of an opportunity-then our Br's..
conduct is above praise-for he has, at all
times, been upright and just in all his deal
ings. He of whom this can be said with per-
feet truth, is assuredly a good man, and ls
besides a great man-for true greatness con-
sists-besides high station-also In being
good.
As to his character as a citizen | have only
to draw your attention to the fact, that he
has been appointed as member by our Gov
ernment to sit in commissions Of no little
importer instance in twice having had
to assist in revising our Tariff of Customs
by having for years acted as one OF the
Wardens for the Lutheran Church in Chris
tiansted; and by his fellow Townsmen ne
was elected member of the Colonial
Council.
have hitherto spoken of him as a Man and
a citizen, [ will now speak of him IN MS
character as a Mason. He is the Oldest Mason
among us-33 years have nearly gone since ne
first saw L., he is now about leaving us,
and the cause of his doing SO, is one OF the
saddest incidents in,his life, and it is with
gentle hand I touch this sore spot,

A telegram announces an appalling &C.
currence at Zug in Switzerland. The
small town lies on the east side OF the
lake of the same name, a small lake, y En-
glish miles in length by from 2 to 3 miles III
breadth, lying between the larger lakes OF
Zurich to the N. E. and Lucerne to the
S. w. That part of Switzerland is famous
for landslips, two of which, namely that
of the Rossberg mountain in 1906, and that
at Elm in the Canton of Glarus in'1981,
were attended, like the present, with an
awful loss of life. The present catastro-
phe surpasses those III horror. 1t took
place in the night, and, so far as we can
gather from the brief telegram, without
previous warning of any kind the newly
built quay and the numerous houses stand
ing upon it slid down with their hundreds
of sleeping inmates into the waters of the
lake. Anything more awful it is difficult
to concei We.
The following Masonic address, pre-
ceding the departure of a highly es-
teemed merchant, who has recently left
us, has been sent to us by the W. M. of
the Eureka Lodge, with a request to pub
blish it, a request with which we have
much pleasure in complying.
